PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brooklyn Brawler (ranked 1008 p4p, 151 weight class) and Damien OQuinn (ranked 1100 p4p, 164 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brawler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beastie Boys- No Sleep till Brooklyn. OQuinn has chosen Blac Youngsta - Late as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
